First Grow, Questions/Advice?
    #25144588 - 04/16/18 11:32 PM (6 years, 8 months ago)

First of all I’d like to thank everyone here for sharing their experiences and knowledge. Ive been a lurker for a while and Ive learned 10 times more from this site than from any other source (except maybe RR’s videos, which I purchased). So thanks again.

Started my first attempt at PF tek about two months ago. I did everything to the T with one exception which in hindsight was a big mistake. I got cute or thought i was being creative or whatever and sub’d half of the BRF for wheat bran. I didnt have a PC yet and water bath “sterilized” the jars. I have since read that wheat bran contains bacteria endosperms that will not be killed at water bath temps. Almost all of my 22 jars contaminated with bacteria. My mistake. Is it safe to assume that this was due to the addition of the wheat bran? I really did do everything else right.

I have since ditched attempting PF and gotten into agar based on recommendations.

Thanks!

If you took a proven Tek that has worked for everyone and changed one thing and none of your jars worked than the answer should be obvious.

Yeah sounds like you discovered the culprit.

Agar should make things easier and give better yields going to grain
